NAAN KABOB

Kabuli Pulao

Afghanistan's national rice dish — saffron-tinted long-grain rice layered with slow-braised lamb, sweet julienned carrots, and plump raisins; deeply aromatic and impossibly satisfying

Lamb Kabob

Charcoal-grilled skewers of marinated ground or cubed lamb with a smoky crust and juicy interior, served with fresh naan and grilled tomato

Chicken Kabob

Marinated chicken skewers with a golden char on the outside and tender, well-seasoned meat within — one of the most crowd-pleasing items on the menu

Mantu

Steamed Afghan dumplings filled with spiced ground beef and onion, draped in a tangy split-pea tomato sauce and cool yogurt — textural contrast at its best

Bolani

Crispy flatbread stuffed with seasoned potato or leek, pan-fried until golden and served with mint yogurt dipping sauce — an ideal starter

Ashak

Boiled leek-stuffed dumplings finished with the same yogurt and meat sauce as mantu — lighter wrapper, more herbaceous filling, worth ordering alongside mantu for comparison

Shorwa

Slow-simmered lamb and chickpea broth, deeply savory and warming — the kind of soup that tastes like it's been cooking since morning

Naan

House-baked flatbread pulled fresh from the tandoor — puffy, slightly charred, essential for scooping up the pulao and kabob juices
